Beginner Guide
Character Creation
Echo of Soul features seven classes of Soulkeeper: Paladin, Warrior, Guardian, Rogue, Sorceress, Warlock, and Archer.
Each possesses unique skills, strengths, and weaknesses. Each class can function alone, or contribute to a group, so choose whichever appeals to you most.
Up to 4 characters can be created on one server, with 8 characters in total across all servers. Character names must be between 2 and 12 characters. Multiple capitals and numbers are allowed, but no spaces or special characters.
Character names can only be changed through the cash shop, so choose carefully.
※ If you have too many characters and wish to delete one, the character will not be deleted until 6 days after the deletion request, if the character is level 10 or higher.
Characters level 10 or higher will be completely deleted after the first server restart 6 days after the deletion request
Characters below level 10 will be deleted immediately.
The Preview function in the upper left lets you see how various equipment will look on your character. You can also customize many cosmetic features of your character, such as hair, eyes, skin, tattoos, and body type.
Click the Complete button on the bottom right side to finalize your new character.

Interaction button
The interact action (F) is the hot key you’ll be using most.
You can use interact to accept quests, complete quests, open vendor screens, and loot defeated creatures. The [F] icon will display when you’re near a valid interact target.
Just don’t get too used to hitting F repeatedly, or you might miss something important.
Quest
The interact action (F) is the hot key you’ll be using most.
You can use interact to accept quests, complete quests, open vendor screens, and loot defeated creatures. The [F] icon will display when you’re near a valid interact target.
You’ll usually be tasked with slaying monsters or locating certain objects. The direction and distance to the next step of a quest is displayed on your screen.
Skills
Each class has two paths, with their own skill sets. You can switch between multiple paths and skill configurations with the Jack of All Trades item.
Each skill tier lets you select two of three possible choices. All are useful, but some suit certain play styles more than others.
Your first skill, awarded at level 10, will be selected automatically. The rest are up to you.
Curiosities
Stronger monsters than usual are sometimes found in the world. You can challenge them yourself, but your chances will improve if you have help from other players.
Be sure to stop and pay your respects at any shrines you find. The Gods will appreciate your devotion, and you’ll receive a modest blessing that lasts a few minutes.
Lottery
Lottery vendors let you test your luck for a chance at extra cash.
Prizes range from 5 (lowest) to 1 (highest).
Death and Resurrection
Whether through courage or foolishness, death will find you sooner or later. The Gods are merciful, though, and you can press the Resurrect button to revive nearby, at the cost of some damage to your equipment. You’ll need to repair it at a vendor if it gets too damaged.
If you carry Frigg’s Blessing, you can consume one within 20 seconds of your death to revive where you fell, with no damage to your equipment.
You’ll have to apply certain buffs again after reviving, and your pet will need to be summoned again.
There’s much more to learn about Echo of Soul, but experience is the best teacher. Go experience the world for yourself, and never be afraid to ask for advice from your fellow players.
